Solution

The correct option is B Overall neutrality of atom
Thomson's model was able to correctly explain the overall neutrality of the atom, i.e. positive and negative charges balance each other. But, it could not correctly explain the position of subatomic particles in the atom, spectra of hydrogen atom and the stability of the atom.
